This one will be short and sweet. Rule 4 is so solid that there just isn't that much to say about it. We all know it, we all love it, our legal system is built on it...
4. Innocent Until Proven Guilty
So simple and so true. It can be applied in a plethora of predicaments (alliteration is for lovers). After a nasty night out of misbehaving one can invoke Rule 4 on the grounds of "if no one saw it, it didn't happen'. Everything is alleged unless you are faced with damning physical evidence. That last sentence is very imporatant so I'll lay it on you again - EVERYTHING IS ALLEGED UNTIL YOU ARE CAUGHT. EVERYTHING. Never let some smug son of a bitch rat you out for indiscresions the day after. We have all had people like this around, and it is important to keep your wits about you. Say you did a little tongue tango with someone you probably shouldn't have done that with, it happens we are all human. The important thing is to stay calm, and ask yourself a few key questions. Who saw you? What state were they in? What state were you in? Are there any pictures/video footage? Risk assess your situation and take it from there. If you are busted then plead guilty, you are not OJ. If you can pull off pretending nothing happened then do it. Tell your closest friend the truth, have them run your PR and everything will be fine. Trust me. People forget shit about you way faster than you forget it about yourself.
